I hate to say it, but this article is what got me to first look at the SHO. Knowing what I know now and looking back on it, it certainly is full of lols for power to parts/tuning ratio. I will say though, the description of the power and how these things feel like the never stop pulling is accurate and always puts smiles on every passengers face I've ever had :D

Is it still making monster LMS power?

It's been Unleashed tuned for a few years, ATP turbos, eating transmissions like m&ms.

Luis tuned it a few months ago for DW injectors but he bought a 2019 Mustang and hasn't touched the SHO in a bit.

Got to say, that article and Mike's posts are a big part of what pulled me over to the SHO. I was set on an Audi RS5, but seeing what the SHO was capable of, US made, and being just kind of gangster in general sold me. I never went to the "L" word, finally sent a sheet off to Gearhead about 10min ago! And then there was that Carl Edwards video series........

I've actually never seen that Carl Edward's video of him driving the SHO...It was pretty cool.
